Within 3 nights this is working with ds2 (1 year old), I am no longer feeding him to sleep at bedtime, I'm honestly surprised that pu/pd is working so well and so quickly.
1st night,45 minutes of pu/pd with much crying (sometimes even before touching the matress on the way back down)
2nd night lying quietly for quite short periods, sucking thumb and then mild crying and standing up to be picked up (took 35mins but much less stressful than 1st night)
3rd night (tonight)hardly any crying at all, only had to pick up about 6 times,calming with just my hand on his back and then fell asleep holding my thumb as he had moved my hand round from his back (only took 10-15 mins total).
I shall report back tommorow with how it goes tommorow night.
